October 29: Research & Drafting Techniques For Corporate Law

Description: The digital age has augmented the practice of corporate and securities law through the accelerating development of brand new ways of identifying answers and locating critical intelligence. In doing so, it has also simultaneously created an environment that can overwhelm through the sheer quantity of available tools. This seminar will de-mystify the corporate law research experience by focusing on a series of practical examples and demonstrating best practices for approaching them, including (these are representative examples and may be modified based on the needs of the audience):

• Practical guidance & model forms. Example: Identifying appropriate forms and analytical guidance for drafting a VotingAgreement in a public M&A deal.
• Locating market precedent and surveying deal terms. Example: Reviewing sandbagging clauses in recent asset purchase agreements.
• Financial Regulatory Administrative Content. Example: Identifying SEC guidance on the use of Non-GAAP financial metrics in financial disclosures.
• Current Awareness. Example: Monitoring the impact of Akorn v. Fresenius on MAE clauses in Delaware.
• Caselaw: Analytical tools for citation research. Example: Researching the continuing impact of the Delaware Court of Chancery’s decision in In re Trulia Shareholder Litigation on federal securities litigation.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Locating model forms and practical guidance for approaching unfamiliar drafting tasks.
• Surveying market standards in M&A deals through filed precedent.
• Reviewing agency guidance on key regulatory topics.
• Staying current on developments in corporate law—both in the law and the market.
• Analytical tools for citation research in M&A litigation.
